tax cuts. you knew this was goingo be a big issue. president obama went on the attack saying mitt romney is essentially pitching a huge tax cut for the rich. >> governor romney's central economic plan calls for a $5 trillion tax cut on top of the extension of the bush tax cuts, that's another trillion and $2 trillion in additional military spending that the military hasn't asked for. >> mitt romney does propose across the board 20% tax cuts in the nonpartisan tax center says under that plan, taxes on the wealthiest americans would be reduced by $5 trillion. initially. but romney says he would offset the cuts with reductions and deductions and closing loopholes that will reduce the tax cut for the wealthy. so our verdict here is that president's saying he would cut the taxes by $5 trillion on wealthy is false because any deduction you take out will make it smaller. there is more to this story. on the deficit, mitt romney claims with the tax cuts he'll not add to the deficit. >> my number one pri
